Fabulous,
By murni@murnis.com (Ubud, Bali) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healthy Thai Cooking (Paperback)
I am Balinese, have a restaurant and love food. I especially love Thai food.The recipes in this book are excellent and have obviously all been tested by the author. Follow them and you will not be disappointed. The presentation is clear at all times and the photographs are superb. Partcularly helpful are a couple of pages on which wines best accompany Thai food - and they are not those that you would immediately think of. The explanations are interesting and illuminating. I would recommend this book to restaurant owners, as well as people cooking at home for a few friends.

Healthy Thai Cooking,
This review is from: Healthy Thai Cooking (Paperback)
This book is all that I hoped for: not only delicious recipes, but a discussion of what Thai cooking is all about and what ingredients are used (defined and described), AND with health-conscious modifications made to traditional recipes. Highly recommended!
